own health care website. >> of course, we rolled out obamacare.gov. that could have gone better. in 2008, my slogan was, yes, we can. in 2013 my slogan was, control, alt, delete. >> i'm erin mcpike in washington. "reliable source" starts right now. good morning and welcome to "reliable sources." i'm brian seltzer coming to you from washington the morning after the dinner. the dinner is the closest thing they have to the oscars, so the stars and i watched what has become a tradition, the president roasting himself and the media, of course, and this year the president saved some of his best singers for us, for cable news. he seems to think cnn might be covering the missing malaysian airlines flight too much. >> i am happy to be here, even though i'm a little bit jet lagged from my trip to malaysia.

the lengths we have to go to to get cnn coverage these days. i think they're still searching for their table. >> so right after that joke, i looked over at one of the tables where fox news staffers were sitting. i could just tell fox news was next. >> speaking of conservative heroes, the coke brothers bought a table here tonight, but as usual they used a shadowy right wing organization as a front. hello, fox news. [ applause ] >> i'm just kidding. let's face it, fox, you'll miss me when i'm gone. >> so that got lots of laughs, of course. the tension between the president and fox news is palpable, it has been for years. and it was at the heart of this week's biggest media story:

benghazi. so enough about the dinner. it was fascinating to be there, it was fun to celebrate the press corps. there is a lot to celebrate but also a lot to scrutinize, so let's get to it. benghazi is a class case of red news, blue news. the president handled the tragedy as a scandal while msnbc pretty much dismisses it. one story has become two different stories on the right and the left. so the question for us is, is there a real scandal and is the press paying enough attention. it was september 11, 2012 when four americans were killed in benghazi, libya in what we now know was a terrorist attack. on the right, there's been lots of talk of a cover-up to protect the president. this week there was a new development, an e-mail obtained through a freedom of act lawsuit, written by ben rhodes, security adviser. included on the e-mail, some top white house officials. i'll get to that, but first the blue on red news, blue news.

it was openly mocked as the idea of a cover-up. >> the smoking gun has been found. not only was a cnn official apparently following guidance, he was also managing political fallout before the 2004 elections. this was a major part when they tried to broadcast fear and panic. also being sarcastic. but the reason or proportion, those didn't seem to be lost on conservatives who have turned this e-mail into the watergate tapes. >> now bill o'reilly, who was furious with the e-mail, didn't get media attention right away. >> that's a scandal. a scandal. that is proof the american press is dishonest. period. they're covering up a cover-up. which might lead directly to the

president of the united states. and that failure by the national press to tell the american people the truth about benghazi is for one reason and one reason only. to protect president barack obama. >> so this morning i put together a blue ribbon panel of reporters to get at the truth of this, including carl bernstein of watergate fame. but here in the studio, dana bash and political staff writer glen thrush. >> let's start with the e-mail which is being called the smoking gun. >> they're calling it a smoking gun because they believe this is proof of what they've been arguing for a very long time, which is that there was a political dynamic here and a political imperative here inside the white house to not call this a terrorist attack because it was just six, seven weeks before the election, and the president was running on somebody who killed osama bin laden.

so this would have hurt that political narrative. but it's not just the content, it's also the fact we haven't seen it. it wasn't a part of the batch of documents the white house gave up when they were subpoenaed. >> i was talking to a former and national security council official yesterday, and he said it was just nuts this wasn't part of the documents in may. we sat there for two hours in the rose room of the white house with officials who assured us this was it. we were going to see every single e-mail. and this one shows up, and in terms of its substance, i think we can agree it is not a smoking gun, it is more along the lines of just another piece of information in a larger case. >> there was an interest in getting everything out, wasn't there? >> there was at the time, but the hidden story has a lot to do with politics but it has a lot more to do with competing interests in the cia and the white house. >> you saw that jay carney at the white house was trying to

say the reason it wasn't given over was because it wasn't specifically about benghazi, it was more of a regional discussion which, you know, nobody in that white house briefing room bought at all. it was pretty spirited. >> for me as a reporter that covers the white house, the fascinating stuff is the conspiracy stuff. it's watching all these different players go at each other with knives. >> where does the story go from here? a story that is daily on fox news but rarely covered as extensively elsewhere. >> i've noticed that a lot of frustration on my twitter feed from a lot of conservatives out there saying, whatever story i do, okay, this is great, but why aren't you doing benghazi? this is fascinating to me because fox is doing it extensively, and if you talk to republicans as i do on capitol hill, particularly those who are up for reelection, maybe even those who have primary challenges who are really trying to make sure the republican base is with them, this is a huge issue. so the question that i have, and i don't know if anybody can really answer this, it's a chicken or egg question.

is fox doing it because the republican based viewership is interested or is the base interested because fox is doing it all the time? >> i see the same on the twitter feed, i get e-mails from my friends on the right saying, why aren't you covering this extensively? it's important in terms of diplomatic security moving forward, our role in the world and this con flag ratiflagratio mideast we still haven't dealt with. >> because it gets called a fox story, the other people can more easily dismiss it. >> exactly. for example, at the end of the week there was testimony in front of darrell isis' committee who has been one of the leaders trying to investigate this, from a retired general, the first military person who was in the region on the ground at the time to testify before congress. he argued that the military should have done more, could have done more, and that the reason they didn't is there was a cultural deference to the state department.

you know what? whether or not that's true, there was certainly a divide politically, but it should be something that the government, that we should be interested in looking into. is there a problem with just basic bureaucracy and bureaucratic problems that could perhaps hinder trying to go help four americans and more americans -- four americans died but more who are under attack in the post they were sent to by this government. >> now, if i were on the right, i would be angry at darrell isa, head of the investigations committee, because he drew all these conclusions at the beginning of the investigation. he brought reporters along step by step by step, without making one of the broadest accusations at the area of inquiry, i think you would see more interest in the mainstream than you see. so it has taken harm that otherwise would have taken root. >> i think people wonder -- this has been targeted as a fox story. msnbc has been dismissing that

story. we've seen that on left wing blogs as well referring to benghazi truthfuls in a negative way. i wonder if that will come back to hurt some of these folks who have dismissed the story entirely. >> i'm just getting a little tired of seeing the base talk to itself. our function here is to move beyond this partisan -- i wouldn't say shelling because i think there are fine journalists in all these places we're talking about -- but i think in general it's just becoming noise. and finally, i wonder how productive it is. the fox folks are watching fox, the msnbc people are watching msnbc -- >> tune in to cnn! >> it doesn't seem like either argument is selling the larger group of people who either aren't tuned in to this or don't care about it much as a central issue. >> also, isn't this center of attention because of the woman on the screen behind us? >> who?

ben rhodes? >> and i do think you're absolutely right. it is a legitimate story on its substance. but you're right as well, that it does get caught in the politics, and the politics is about the base now and whether there's a cover-up, but it's also looking ahead to 2016 and the president having their eye on who is unbeatable, and that is hillary clinton, and the fact what happened in the state department, that she was secretary of state when one of her ambassadors died, the first time that's happened in 33 years, and trying to pin her with this. now they have that infamous sound bite of her if she does run you'll see over and over again, saying, what difference does it make? you're right, hillary clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, she is the big political target for republicans, and those two are

actually related. >> now to turn to someone else who wrote a book about it. carl bernstein is one half of the woodward and bernstein team that broke the watergate scandal, so he knows a lot about political scandals. welcome to the program. >> i think we need to back up a bit and say right off the bat that this is not watergate or anything resembling watergate. watergate was a massive criminal conspiracy led by a. we're talking total apples and oranges here. . th that. >> when you see coverage of this especially programs on the right, on the fox channel, do you see it as a target for

hillary clinton? >> this is about an idealogical scorched earth politics that prevails in washington on capitol hill and by the media that goes way beyond fox. it goes to the web, it goes to msnbc to some extent. it also goes to general coverage. examined in a fact-based way, lower the temperature. it's not about criminal presidencies or anything of the kind. it's about finding out what happened, and it's not difficult to do in a sane atmosphere. we don't have a sane atmosphere. >> by someone who helped write a book about hillary clinton, do you look at her and think it's probably about her and her been. does the republican party, does

an almost mad hatred for hillary clinton by the people over there, by the weekly standards, some others on the right, sure, there is. but that doesn't obviate the fact there is a real story here to be looked at in context. i think we know most of the truth about what happened in benghazi. if it were possible, and i don't think it is, to have a calm. once and for all it could establish a set of ir refute i believe facts. that would be terrific. but i don't think that's possible in today's political atmosphere. >> we read so much about these talking points and they are

critical critically. >> i don't think it's been lost and i don't think there's anything surprising about talking points for the sunday shows being in a political context. every president and every secretary of state and undersecretary is always looking for political points. what occurred here, the reaction to those political comments were fearless, but we haven't seen any great use of intelligence as we saw in the lead-up to the gulf war by the president of the united states, vice president of the united states, misusing and misrepresenting intelligence to go to war. we've seen nothing like that. what we do have here, though, is the congress of the united states asking for documents that it is entitled to have. and the failure of the executive

branch to turn those documents over, the omission of this one document in particular is troubling. and the white house ought to have a much better explanation than jay carney's double talk has shown so far. but that is not to confirm in any way the wild assertions of the right and the republican party having to do with benghazi. >> what i hear you saying is it's not a 72-point type story,. it is worthy of a headline? >> i don't want to limit this to headlines. i think what we need to do is look at things in the news to context. part of that is to look at idle players and what his objectives are.

. in context, was susan rice trying to go out there and deliberately lie about what happened? it certainly didn't look like it to me. take a look at the record. but i do think a scale to which the republican right, the tea party right has made this issue -- tried to make it and overpositive lit size it. is wrong, and has taken the thing totally out of con. >> always a pleasure to talk to you. thanks for coming on with me. i have to take a quick break, but when we come back, these questions. would you want the death penalty? would you want to see one carried out, an execution? would we all want to see what goes on in the death chamber? some tough questions, and

answers when we return. in the nation, it's not always pretty.

the execution in oklahoma of tracy lockett went terribly wrong. he died of a heart attack tuesday night, 43 minutes after the state's botched attempt to kill him with drugs. i told the friend i was with, then what happened? the same thing that probably happened in millions of homes this week, we launched into a vigorous debate about the death penalty. let's put this up on screen. more americans are for the death penalty than oppose it. those for it stands at 50%. it's dropped in recent years but it's still pretty strong. it's natural to wonder if those numbers would change if people actually saw what happens in the death chamber. occasionally there is talk about actually televising executions. some say if you support it, you ought to be able to watch it.

others claim seeing it may change your mind about the issue. when i was having my death penalty debate with my friend, she was surprised when i told her reporters do see it, that reporters are witnesses to compete executions whenever they take place. the reporters serve as our eyes and ears. they are there to report when things go wrong, as they did this week. matt trotter witnessed lockett's execution. it was the first time he had been a witness. on the other hand, bloomberg had witnessed several executions. matt, let me start with you. i know it can't be comfortable coming on television talking about this, but tell me what you did witness on tuesday. >> well, it was, you know, as you said, my first execution, and i didn't approach it lightly. to me it was that extension of

my duty as a reporter. it's a very extreme extension of it, but this is something i felt obligated to do. but that still doesn't quite prepare you for actually being there and watching it, especially when you see it starting to go wrong, and you hit that point during the execution where you and the rest of the media witnesses in the room are able to exchange quick glan glances with the people next to you and just go, oh, wow, this is really going wrong. so when it got to that point, i think the journalistic instinct for most of us, definitely for me, just kind of kicked in, and it was a lot of looking up at the clock, looking down at locke lockett, looking at the clock, scribbling on the

prison-provided notepad. i think i'm at the point where i haven't slowed down quite enough to process what i saw on tuesday night, and i think it's going to be difficult when that does finally kind of catch up with me. >> greg, since you've witnessed a number of executions, first let me ask how many, and tell me, what changes over time when you've done this more than once? >> i witnessed 10 executions. and the first one was my toughest, at least. i remember after i covered that first execution, i went back -- i had a story, of course, on the ap wire service, but i also had to write a story about what it was like to go through that execution just to get it all on paper. it's instinct actiively a secre process. in georgia only a few reporters get access to that death chamber but it's one that's essential. just as matt was saying, you sort of wrap yourself in the

shroud of journalism. it doesn't make it any easier to do that. >> can you relate to what matt was just saying about what it's going to be like when he finally gets to slow down and process what happened? >> it does hit you, because as reporters we cover awful things. we cover executions, we cover murders, we cover tornadoes and natural disasters. and it will hit you at some point. what i did and what many of my colleagues did, they essentially say this is a duty. someone has to be there when the state does this final act. often, for high profile executions in georgia, i covered trey davis, which was an international story a few years ago. often they're not international stories. maybe if you're lucky, two reporters are actually in the death chamber and one of them was sort of a rookie who had never been there before. >> you said just two? >> sorry? >> you said just two reporters. >> just two reporters. in georgia, there is up to five reporters in the death chamber, but some of them i've covered, there was a local radio reporter

plus me for the associated press. so sometimes there's very little media attention on these executions. so we have a duty to say what happens. and i'll add, too, some executions, even the condemned man's lawyers or family or friends aren't even in there. the lawyer is usually back in atlanta or washington filing last-minute appeals and they don't have anyone there for them. not that that's our job, but we have the right to write what is actually happening in there. >> there's been discussions over the years the idea of televising this. it's sometimes brought up by liberals who say the death penalty should be abolished. they say if it was televised, people would change their minds and be against the death penalty. what do you think of that idea now that you went through this this week? >> i think if the government does take that ultimate step that the public should see it. it is jarring and it's not something that i would let my two young daughters ever want them to see, but it is something that i feel the public should

know, especially given the number of executions that don't get the type of media attention that matt is talking about. >> your both reporters. you may not want to say what your personal view about the death penalty is, but does it change you? greg, does it change your point of view having done this 10 times? >> my view is if the state is going to take this step, they better be absolutely sure of the guilt. and when there's questions about someone's guilt, it does get to you. i've seen executions where the final words were something along the lines of, i apologize for the action you're taking against me and i forgive you. and that stuff haunts you. so my only hope is that when the state goes down this route, and in georgia, prosecutors will swear up and down that every person they've executed in recent history was guilty of the crime, but still, you know, there those lingering doubts get to you. >> matt, i know it's only been a

few days for you, but have you felt your personal views changing at all? >> not really. i mean, honestly, my personal views on the issue are sort of up in the air and i'm figuring them out as i go, ev. even before i went, that was where i was at on the death penalty. >> can i just say that's refreshing, by the way? sometimes on television it's as if everybody has their minds made up, but you're pointing out what i think a lot of people feel, is that they don't know about an issue as serious as this one. >> right, it's a hard one to come to a final decision on, just because there is so much information out there, and then you have to factor in your own personal feelings about things. on one hand it's not a deterrent to crime, but on the other hand, there is certain crimes that we feel that should be the penalty for it. >> what do you think viewers or citizens in general should know

about the process? what something that you learned this week that we at home should know? >> it's not a pretty process at any stage of the game. from start to finish, whatever -- however the finish plays out, there's no real point in there that it's simple and you can just kind of sit back and accept what's happening. >> greg, anything you would like to tell matt given that you've been here before? though not in the case of a botched execution like this. >> yeah, it will hit you. my advice is when it does, just get out your pen and write. it doesn't even have to be for publication. i wrote something just for myself that ended up being published, but just write or have someone to talk to, because something like this, i can't imagine going through that as your first execution.

welcome back. my next guest says the ceos of the biggest media companies in the united states are afraid of

comcast, but those ceos won't say so out loud. back in february when comcast announced its plan to merge with time warner cable. comcast said it would like to have approval by the end of this year. it would combine the number one cable company in the u.s. with the number two. since they serve different cities and towns right now, comcast says it's appropriate to combine the two. but many of comcast's rivals disagree. comcast owns nbc universal which has lots of cable channels. when you talk privately with cable executives that own other channels like disney or time warner, they will tell you they hate the merger, but the executives will not say that on the record. reed hastings came out against the deal last month. and this week the tv executive of univision raised concerns as well.

as netflix resists, most firms just try to befriend comcast. so what's this all about and why should consumers care? joining me now is the guest i mentioned, peter lauria, the editor for buzz feed. one of the his articles was head lined, why big media won't stand up to comcast. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, brian. >> tell me why big media won't stand up to comcast. >> it comes down to money. if they're paying you millions and billions of dollars each year to carry your programming, you kind of don't want to bite the hand that pays you. that's one of the reasons. there are a bunch of others. another being that it takes someone with a special backbone to stand up to the bully in the school yard, right? they're trying to do this stuff off the record behind the scenes, and i sometimes wonder if they would have went on the record, you have an opportunity right here. there's an opportunity with reed coming out, reed hastings, ceo,

coming out and going on the record against it and another ceo coming out against it. for some of these powerful companies you mentioned, which are collectively worth $365 billion, to say something on the record, maybe that carries more weight with regulators. i don't know. >> you just said comcast is the bully in the schoolyard. tell me how that's defendable. >> i was speaking met metaphorically, but when you're bigger and stronger, and that's what comcast is. in its current configuration, comcast is extremely powerful. adding time warner on top of it, and going from 20% of house holds in the country and going to 30% is huge. they're not necessarily a bully, but they have a lot of muscles to flex. >> let's explain the economic model to consumers. comcast put so much money into the pockets of these companies

how? by paying subscriber fees, right? >> right, comcast's single biggest finance is programming fees to various different network owners. they paid $9 billion last year. >> that meansnickelodeon and all these will get money. and they said maybe behind the scenes these big companies are trying to negotiate with comcast while they're trying to get a merger approved. has your report backed that up as well? >> look, that's obviously one of the things they're trying to do. i mean, it's basically like, hey, we won't say anything publicly about how we're against this, but when we have to renew our next carriage agreement, i would like a sweetheart deal. this is a mutually cooperative ecosystem here, right? comcast needs the programmers, the programmers need comcast. they can't go, to use a

godfather term, they can't go against each other, there has to be a relationship there. they're trying to extract whatever they can in whatever polite way they can without going sort of nuclear. >> you mentioned earlier you think there is a sense of inevitability around this deal. is that something you think can be poked at by any of these big companies? >> well, i do think so. like i said earlier, i do think there is an opportunity here if they wanted to. i mean, i kind of feel like this is very similar to what's going on in another case in the media world which is aeron. and i feel like the regulators in that court are looking for a justification to reject this deal. right now they're not getting it. i sometimes wonder if rupert murdoch or les nunez says something, maybe it carries more

weight than an executive. if it's seven voices that are collectively worth $360 million, maybe you give a little more weight to that. >> peter lauria, thank you for joining me. >> thank you. we're going to stay on this story. we're going to keep trying to book comcast executives to tell us why they believe the merger is in the public interest. i need to take a break here, but it's the most gut-wrenching story that i'm wondering why it doesn't get much coverage. in just a moment. ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪ ♪ hooking up the country helping business run ♪ ♪ trains! they haul everything, safely and on time. ♪ tracks! they connect the factories built along the lines. and that means jobs, lots of people, making lots and lots of things. let's get your business rolling now, everybody sing.

welcome back to "reliable sources." time now for a segment we call undercovered, stories which should get more press. question: does anyone know how we can get cnn to give as much attention to 344 kidnapped

children as they do to flight 370? they were reacting to the abduction of girls in nigeria. it happened back in april and it's a horrifying story. the numbers are somewhat confused. there have been stories that some of the girls have escaped or somehow been freed, but the fact remains that an islamic terrorist group, which means western education is sinful, reportedly took the girls for this reason, this they were going to school and getting an education. i first heard the story from a cnn correspondent in west africa. i think cnn deserves some credits because other networks barely have presence in africa at all. the story has not gotten sustained attention from this or any other network in the united states. they have demanded more action from their government and i spoke to a man who said the internet has helped fill in the gaps. >> the social media has been a

popular force in nigeria. our mission is almost unavailable for weeks and the number of girls that are missing. the media has totally, totally failed. >> we are in nigeria today. thank you for joining me. >> thanks for having me, brian. >> bring us up to speed. what is the current situation? >> the current situation, brian, on april 14, armed attackers stormed a government girls' college where some 200 young students were sleeping in the middle of the night. they set fire to the school after a shootout with some security guards who were on the campus. after they set fire to the school, they carted these girls away in buses and vans and other vehicles deep into the bush that borders cameroon with nigeria. over the last two weeks, they have said they set up a rescue

campaign. many of the parents we spoke to says they haven't seen any evidence of any kind of rescue taking place. many of those parents and family members have risked their lives going into the bush armed with stones, with rocks, with machetes, anything they can get their hands on, to try and rescue these young girls. so far they've been unsuccessful. the military says they're doing everything they can to bring these young girls home. but over the two weeks since these girls were taken hostage, people of nigeria have become angry. they are wondering why more has not been done. >> is there a sense it's not getting the kind of global attention from the press as it should be? >> there are challenges. it's true that you heard in the sound bite that you played of that young man, he said the traditional media has failed in this particular case, and that social media is now driving the coverage. but remember that when people are attuned to an image or attuned to a story, for example,

the south korea ferry disaster or the malaysia air 370 disaster, there are images, there is video, you have dramatic rescue at sea, you have the tilting ship, you have family members that are crying and talking to reporters, wanting to get the word out as to what they're going through, what they're experiencing. and when that happens, people around the world can relate. they see those images, they hear those voices and they are there. they are there with the reporters learning about the story as the reporters learn about it. in nigeria, in africa, but specifically in nigeria, there are many challenges when it comes to reporting a story like this. this has happened in a part of the country that is very remote. there are challenges in getting signals there. we as journalists cannot go to this area. the area where this occurred is considered a boca hiron stronghold. they are a group accused of kidnapping these girls. to go into that part of nigeria is very risky indeed.

so we can't bring images of the parents talking about their young daughters. we cannot even talk about the missing because the government has been very close guarded when it comes to releasing the names or images of these young girls. so there's nothing for people to grasp onto. and print reporters have been doing this story, the "new york times," the uk guardian, but still, when you're not able to talk to those people, when you don't have those voices, those images, it's hard for people to relate. i think now as the social media campaign has begun, the story really is simple. you don't need all those images. you just have to imagine you are a parent. you send your kid to school. in the middle of the night, in their dormitory, they are abducted and you never hear from them or you haven't heard from them in two weeks. any mother, any parent, anybody with a heart listening to that story will now start to understand what it is that these people are going through. >> i am glad you were there to tell us about it. thank you so much for joining me. >> thanks for having me, brian.
